The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival is an independent non-profit arts organization that continues an active partnership with its founding agency,
American Jewish Committee. Both organizations share a common commitment to strengthen Jewish life and foster intergroup understanding among
Atlanta's diverse cultural, ethnic and religious populations.
